The Gibson Explorer is an iconic guitar. After flopping with its 1958 release, this guitar gained notoriety decades later with the metal movement. However, I don’t play metal (as mentioned with the Epiphone Prophecy SG video), so why did I need to have this in my collection? Well, with the Explorer was created, it wasn’t meant for metal- it was meant for rock’n’roll! And it came in a very plain package- just some korina mahogany and an unbound fretboard.
Fast-forward years later and we have the regular mahogany version finished in “antique natural”. This guitar looks the part of a vintage instrument and the nitro finish feels great. The guitar is so easy to play- the slim neck is what does it for me. And the sound from the BurstBucker 2 and 3 pickups? Unreal. It’s one of those guitars that makes you a better player when you pick it up. It just exudes cool…even when I play it!
